## What is Bite?

Know your taste. Earn your Legend.

Bites is your personal food journal, gamified. Snap a photo of any meal and our AI instantly logs the dish, detects the restaurant, and tags the cuisine — so your entire dining life is captured in seconds, not minutes.

Every meal you log builds your Palate — a living score made of four pillars that together tell the real story of how you eat:

Range — how wide your food world is. Every new cuisine, restaurant, or city expands it permanently.
Rhythm — how consistently you show up. Log meals regularly to keep your streak alive and your score climbing.
Curiosity — your momentum toward the new. Try undiscovered cuisines, visit wishlist spots, keep exploring.
Taste — how engaged and discerning you are. Rate your meals honestly and build a record of spots you truly love.
Your Palate score (0–1000) moves with your habits — it rises when you're active, and nudges you back when you've gone quiet. Your Tier (Nibbler → Foodie → Explorer → Gourmet → Legend) only ever goes up. The status you earn is permanent.

Cuisine Passport Fifteen cuisines. How many have you tried? Your passport shows exactly which you've explored and which are still undiscovered — a reason to try something new every time you eat out.

Monthly Quests Fresh challenges every month: try a new cuisine, visit a wishlist spot, branch out at a restaurant you frequent, or hit a logging streak. Complete them and earn achievements that celebrate your journey.

Wishlist → Visit Reward Save restaurants you want to try. When you actually go, Bites detects the match and celebrates it — turning your wishlist from a dead list into a quest log you complete.

Your Story See how you really eat: dine-in vs. delivery split, the cuisine you order most vs. the one you rate highest, the spots you've become a regular at, and the dishes you keep reordering. Insights that actually say something about you.

Built for every meal Home-cooked dinner, delivery Tuesday, vacation omakase — every meal counts toward your journey. Bites is not just for restaurants.
